I dont have a favourite bird , because I dont know many bird. But I want write about the faisanes.
These are natives birds of Asia. And someones has been feral in the south of Chile and nowadays exist in natural way ("free") from the fourth region until the austral road.
This bird can`t fly. But are very beautifull for me. And when I was a little girl and I visited the zoo (Buin Zoo) this kind of bird was my favourite: because their amazing colours and they didn`t was as popular as the famous peacock. I like the things or beings, not so popular.
I know the traditional swallow, and in the place more splendid that I think possible know her. This nice event was in Chaitén.
Her figure and her flight are very charasteristic. Many people can differentiate this birds, and this is a kind of bird diurno and migratory. Therefore you can see this birds in different places and ages of the year.
I remember a book about : " the happy prince" of Oscar Wilde, and his was my favourite story when I was child. And in the develop of the history, appear a swallow, and the bird is like an angel for the main protagonist, and represent the hope and the goodness.
By this memories I always think in this bird, as if its was messengers, and I feel good think when I see them.
And finally I can write about my experience with this beautifull bird, called: chucao. This bird are native of the south of Chile. And when I travel to the austral road, I slept out of the national park: Queulat, and one of the mornings I ran into a group of tiny chucaos. And for me, take a breakfast next to their are very lovely experience. I never forget it. This bird remember me all my significant trip.

Hi Alinee !! the birds that you was mention are very beautiful! I remember one song of violeta parra, one cueca that said some like this:
